1598 Records
The rest area, which had lost the protection of the magic light and other facilities, then fell into an unspeakable silence, and for a while, only the connecting area not far from the passage was still echoing with the unique whimper of the storm, and the exit to the connecting area when Duan Qing and the others came also showed the aftermath of the storm at this time, and the ground that had been cleaned up by the strong wind was centered there and spread out in all directions. The gaze moved from the wind that was still gushing out in that direction to the other end, and the attention belonging to Duan Qing and the others also stayed on the back of the departing tall magical creation for a long time at this time, until the heavy steps generated by the huge body began to fade away in the corridor, and the echoing sound began to be indistinguishable, and these few people suddenly changed from extremely quiet movements to extreme movement.
Judging from the process of going deep into the core area behind the ruins, the time that was idle in front of them was probably one of the few times they could leave Kyle II to act alone.
"Hurry up, hurry up! How's it going over there? ”
"Nothing was found, what about you?"
"There's no paper or any writing left here! At most, there were traces of books...... Look, there must have been a bookshelf there, or the kind that was streamlined - tsk, they had a good style of running a library. ”
"It's all powder, what's the use of observing these side effects? Hurry up and get me some more useful clues! ”
The busy footsteps back and forth gradually turned into a wave of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, accompanied by the scene of countless tables and chairs scattered on the ground being turned upside down, Duan Qing and the others who remained in this dim room did not rest at this time as they showed their exhaustion at this time, but turned this place upside down like locusts transiting: "...... Whew, it's really worthy of the underground ruins that have passed thousands of years, and there is no useful information left. ”
"There must be some useful information left here, it's just that the system - ahem, we didn't find the right place." After clearing his throat, a certain gray-robed magician who almost missed his mouth then temporarily stopped his action of also rummaging through boxes and cabinets: "It doesn't matter, if you don't have this room, find the next one, if you don't have this area, you can find the next one, in short, you can find something useful sooner or later." ”
"I thought so too, but the guy named Kyle II didn't." Pointing to the other side of the corridor on the periphery of the dilapidated room, Shi Ayunna's movement of throwing a piece of shard also became lazy at this time: "If it comes back in a while, I am afraid that we will be dealt with as thieves and robbers." ”
"Thieves and robbers? How is it possible, we haven't done such a hurtful thing, at most it can be counted as a 'destruction of property'. Standing up expressionlessly, the slightly pale face belonging to Duan Qing also became particularly conspicuous in the dim room at this time: "Of course, if we really find something strange, we can't rule out the possibility that we will break the agreement and rules and hide it secretly from that magic guide weapon...... How? ”
"What's the problem?"
As if sensing the sudden unusual movements of another player who was also rummaging around, the gray-robed magician quickly turned his attention there: "Did you find any useful clues?" ”
"No, it just occurred to me something."
The action of freezing in place seemed extremely unnatural in front of the two men who turned around, and the gaze belonging to the snow spirit phantom ice was also froze at this time on the countless circuit board-like magic circuits piled up in front of him: "I'm thinking...... Since this is an era of high development of magic technology, the so-called records must also become very advanced, right? ”
"Although we have found many book-like fragments in this resting area, it is likely that they were only designed to meet some of the spiritual needs of those who come here to rest." The white-haired woman raised her head, and her originally confused gaze gradually became clear in the process of condensing: "The real record should not need the existence of any paper and parchment scrolls, but should be a more advanced storage medium, right?" ”
"Makes sense." Staring at each other and nodded, Duan Qing's brows gradually twisted up with Xue Ling's words: "Our way of looking for clues is indeed influenced by our inherent thinking, and those papers that are similar to text and image records may not be the objects we should be looking for at all, but should be some higher-level devices." ”
"Like this?" With a look of understanding on his face, the homeless man named Shi Ayun reached out and handed over the debris he was throwing, "I don't know what you call magic or anything like that, but this thing looks a lot like it." ”
"What? Take a look! Glancing at each other, Duan Qing, who was squaaning beside Xue Lingphantom Bing, hurriedly reached out and snatched the piece of fragment over: "I thought you just picked up a table leg and played there!" It turned out to-"
"It turned out to be just an ordinary fragment."
Looking at the shriveled expression of the gray-robed magician who gradually fell silent, Xue Lingphantom Ice, who was sticking out his head and poking his head out of the probe, then smiled and withdrew his gaze from the surface of the fragment in the other party's hand: "It's a pity that I disappointed you." ”
"Hey, anyway, follow this line of thought and start over again." With some trembling, he stuffed the fragment back into the arms of Shi Ayun, who was full of strange faces, and Duan Qing, who was also trembling at the corners of his mouth, then walked his steps towards the door of the room: "You can continue to look here, I'll go to another room." ”
"Next door?"
"I don't have a picky eater, and I don't have a reason to be a picky eater." Holding on to the door frame, Duan Qing's helpless gaze also patrolled around the metal door frame: "Choosing which one is luck, it's better to go with the flow." ”
"By the way, I'm not angry." He glared fiercely at the snow spirit phantom ice in the room, who was still laughing, and his footsteps quickly disappeared into the darkness that he couldn't see: "Drink the potion I gave you earlier, and then have a good rest." ”
"You don't have to come with me, I can do it alone."
Shi Ayun pointed to his nose and asked in confusion, but the gray-robed magician seemed to have no idea, he only took a moment to guard against the threat that might appear in this room, and then completely pushed away the scattered pieces of wood that were half-hidden in the door of this room. Looking up and down at the chaotic wreckage that also spread throughout the interior of this room, the gray-robed magician slowly pressed his chest next to the wall beside him, and the sequelae of the spell cast from the previous series of battles and movements seemed to have begun to gradually erupt on the man's body: "Whew, whew...... Damn, is this body still too reluctant? ”
"If you don't want to be ugly, you may need to stock up on more magic gems next time." With his back to the next door to the room where he had just come, the gray-robed magician raised his gaze and revealed more helplessness: "But this disc only returned to me after coming to the Wind Continent, and there is no way to talk about preparing in advance......"
Recalling the source of the disc in his hand and the back of the little girl with her golden braids flying everywhere in his impression, his lower and lower self-talk fell silent again, and the sound of his breathing, which had been silent for a long time, gradually calmed down with the passage of time, and finally turned into a muffled snort with the movement of difficult climbing: "Anyway, problems always have to be solved one by one, and the dilemma in front of us seems to be beginning to show its clues." ”
"I hope I can make it to the end."
Taking a deep breath, Duan Qing, who had tightened his broken arm and left hand, turned to the depths of the room he was in, and the staggering footsteps that had not appeared in front of Xue Lingphantom Ice and Shi Ayun also gradually moved with the appearance of this weak figure, and gradually merged with the interior of the dim space: "Let me ...... Ahem, let me see what good stuff is hidden in this room...... Not. ”
"It looks like a recreation room." His gaze swept over the myriad of large and small stone balls scattered among the shards of wooden planks on the ground: "What is this, glass balls?" However, the balls don't seem to be the same size, and they don't have any numeric markings...... Wait a minute. ”
"There seems to be a magic circuit in this." Bending down to pick up one of the small balls with an extremely slow movement, Duan Qing carefully examined its surface: "It seems to be designed to speed up rotation, and there is only one circuit that extends to the center - hateful." ”
"Do all the remnants here have such circuits? Why didn't I find out before? Throwing the ball aside, he pressed the corner of his forehead hard: "Sure enough, it's because of the excessive consumption of magic power, which has reduced the sensitivity of magic?" This is not good news. ”
Shaking his head, the gray-robed magician who had forcibly cheered up his spirit also groped into the depths of the messy room again, and all kinds of strange objects also appeared in front of him little by little as his attention refocused: "What is this?" A wooden pole? Ha, if you have billiards, you should have a billiard cue, right? You're really a recreation room here, huh? ”
"I seem to have found an iron needle, is it the iron needle used to nail the darts? Although there is no trace of magical blessings...... Wait, why is there dried blood on it! ”
"There was supposed to be a wooden table here, but now I don't know where it went...... Hmm, I think I found a chess piece, maybe this was originally a place to play chess. ”
"Nicks, dominoes, bars for stacking, and discs of metal that can be used as chips...... Ha, I want stud, someone didn't call? ”
"Ah, I found it, a book made of magic, and it seems that only magic can activate the contents of it. Let me see...... The love story of Zilit II and Queen Malahavan continued? What the hell is this weekly? Do you dare to put something more energetic - uh no, it's a little healthier and uplifting! ”
Dancing up and down a stone tablet engraved with unknown characters in his hand, Duan Qing almost threw it to the ground, and the vague figure standing between the dim light then stopped for a long time in the silence of the gray-robed magician, and only after a while did he turn half a minute as his spirit was lifted: "Okay, at least with a systematic translation, I can still understand the meaning of these words, but-"
"I think I need a magic drive." Quietly putting down the slate that looked like the cover of a book, Duan Qing scratched his head in distress: "And those things just now, too, each of them has more or less traces of magic involvement...... In other words, these things can only really work if they are infused with magical energy, right? ”
"Do you have to wait for Kyle II to fix the power source?" He stood there for a moment, his gaze bobbing up and down as his thoughts fluctuated: "I don't want to investigate in front of Kyle II, God knows if there are any secrets that can't be known, or violations of prohibitions...... Well? ”
"What is this?" His swaying gaze lingered in the corner of the room, his gaze fixed on a spherical object that looked like it had fallen to the ground: "This should be a monitor, right?" In reality, it seems to be designed this way, but it may be much smaller...... Not. ”
"There's a lack of energy." Duan Qing, who slowly squatted in front of this corner and reached out to pick it up, inspected the round surface like a lens, and then his fingers kept turning back and forth as if he had found something, and gradually climbed up along a straight line in the corner of the wall: "The energy circuit should have extended along this line to the top, this thing was also hanging there at first, and then for some reason, it finally fell down after the power was cut off......"
"If we can restore the mana supply, this thing should be able to work again." The gray-robed magician thought for a moment, then tried to reach forward again: "The question is whether this thing has its own storage function, if it uses the same magic technology as a storage method, both images and materials will be affected by decline." ”
"Wait a minute, I've found it." The fiddling action paused again, and Duan Qing's fingers then stopped directly behind the spherical device: "This should be the input port of energy, and the lines for import and export are all from here...... Hmm, what type of magical energy should I input? Fire? Soil? Or is it wind? Or is it mixed together? ”
Syllable.
A piercing magic crackle then appeared on the surface of the spherical magic device, causing Duan Qing, who was trying to input all kinds of magic energy, to the point of throwing his head back in fright, and the reflection light that gradually extended forward was followed by the magic green smoke rising from the circular glass hole in front of the spherical device.
“…… A new shipment has arrived. ”
